USA-Greece is showing on USA
2-0 USA very early, and now we’re tied on a sick move by some Greek kid
August 14th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Jason Kidd three fouls in 1:30! Geez.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:06 am
WHAT? Chippy early
Kobe called for a bogus intentional foul
This is some bullshit early
August 14th, 2008 at 8:06 am
Phelps is so gangsta, prissy chicks don’t wanna fuck with him.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:09 am
8-7 Greece.
Melo just hit a three, and after he made it, Dwight got tangled with some kid who took a dive – Howard looked at him as if he were angry.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:11 am
glad to see the Michael Phelps backlash has started before the games are over. He is the greatest Olympian ever.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:12 am
they are banging Chris Paul HARD everytime. Just noticed that he turned to look at a guy after a foul at halfcourt.
Greece 11-9, very slow pace.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Can we not stop the pick and roll.. by the way, that a big brother playin ball
August 14th, 2008 at 8:14 am
wow who knew tractor trailer was greek?
August 14th, 2008 at 8:14 am
what is up with the court? we are slipping all over the place…same story during the game against china
August 14th, 2008 at 8:15 am
must be from the ice rink underneath.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Americans tighten D, get two fast break buckets, lead 15-13. Bosh playing some solid defense on the big greek guy (must be 6-8, 315)
August 14th, 2008 at 8:16 am
fuckin NHL ruining everything
August 14th, 2008 at 8:16 am
that’s a good call
6-9, 340 per announcers
that’s twice the US gave up an o-reb on a FT
August 14th, 2008 at 8:19 am
D WADE! awesome board and put-back. USA looking better in the halfcourt. 20-16, less than a minute left in the first
August 14th, 2008 at 8:20 am
20-16 USA, end of 1
August 14th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Better in the halfcourt? They are all standing still…
August 14th, 2008 at 8:22 am
nice
August 14th, 2008 at 8:23 am
Holy fuck, D-Wade just made the play of the year!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:23 am
OH… that was beautiful, Wade is the man
August 14th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Man, when D-Wade is 100% he’s definitely in the Kobe-LeBron convo.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:25 am
SICK!
d wade saved a ball from going out – and just threw it about 15 feet toward hte hoop – Kobe caught it and jammed it. AWESOME
Doug Collins called it the play of the tourney
ANd D Howard with a fierce dunk
August 14th, 2008 at 8:25 am
C’mon kobe
August 14th, 2008 at 8:26 am
d wade steal to lebron – flying dunk!!
USA 26-18
August 14th, 2008 at 8:27 am
fucking kobe missed an alley-oop dunk
(wade with the pass, again)
August 14th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Could Kobe PLEASE stop chucking threes?
August 14th, 2008 at 8:27 am
i can almost see all those plays happen!
/sarcasm
August 14th, 2008 at 8:28 am

August 14th, 2008 at 8:29 am
+1 gangsta D
August 14th, 2008 at 8:30 am
2 on Bosh, 2 on Howard
Boozer better be ready
As well as the US is playing, Greece is hanging around.
USA 27-22.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:30 am
is there a place to watch the olympics online? i want to see this hoops game. fuck me.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:31 am
Little early to call Carl Lewis greater than phelps….phelps can still come back for another round of olympics…he’s only 21, he’ll be 25/26 next go around. He’s going to crush/possibly put out of reach the individual medal count, and gold medal count.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:31 am
yes
i dont see why nobody has told Kobe to chill with the three’s. Bosh and D Wade playing real well early.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:32 am
yeah, 14. He can really clear some room in the paint too.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Jesus, D-Wade is just killing it.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:32 am
wade again! slicing through the lane for a layup and one
August 14th, 2008 at 8:32 am
All anyone needs to know is that D-wade is personally killing it right now, just killin it
August 14th, 2008 at 8:33 am
Kobe not smart on that fadaway almost would have been better to shoot the 3.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:33 am
wade again! just clowned some kid with a fake and another layup
LeBron, you GOTTA play some defense, man. just gave up two easy buckets. DON’T GAMBLE!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:34 am
wade for three!
36-26 USA
wade is 17-for-20 for the tournament.
big kid #14 for Greece just picked up his 3rd foul
August 14th, 2008 at 8:34 am
LeeeeBron
August 14th, 2008 at 8:36 am
LEBRON!
melo forced a layup and missed – lebron soars in for a 2-handed dunk
wow
about time he do something
TO greece – 38-28 usa
August 14th, 2008 at 8:36 am
I *must* see that Marissa Tomei movie
August 14th, 2008 at 8:36 am
he is actually 23, but still young enough to comeback and win at least 3 or 4 in 2012. Spitz set the Gold Medal record 36 years ago. What Phelps is doing is incredibly special. to use the argument that swimming gives Golds out like candy is weak. than why didn’t Biondi do it (he was the last one that people thought could)? Because it is friggin hard as hell, that’s why.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Maybe thats the trick for Kobe, back up some
August 14th, 2008 at 8:38 am
not sure where to find the game online
Greece layup 38-30. these guys are too pesky to get blown out.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:38 am
LeBron is taking over
August 14th, 2008 at 8:38 am
hey, kobe makes a 3!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Redeem Team!
By the way, great Cavs trade getting Mo Williams, finally a legit #2 scorer for Lebron.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:39 am
james to bosh
and one
August 14th, 2008 at 8:39 am
BTW, can we please stop with the anti-kobe, that shit is gettin wicked stale. Move on!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:40 am
james nasty double-pump reverse dunk off the steal
USA up 16!!!!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:40 am
wade > kobe > lebron > rondo > dwight howard
August 14th, 2008 at 8:41 am
he’s like 2-for-20 on three’s in his last 5 games or something.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:42 am
i cant wait for the Spain game on Saturday
August 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am
That lebron move was straight out of nba street
August 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Rumeal.. the NBC On-line Stream website

August 14th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Bosh having himself quite the game. It would be nice to see him somewhere other than Toronto. We gonna pound those racist spaniards.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
from what it sounds like, the US finally realized that they have all the NBA players….
August 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
fuck kobe!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
half: 51-32 USA
August 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
oh, just so there’s no confusion…..fuck lebron!
August 14th, 2008 at 8:47 am
have they moved the time or is it still 1015?
August 14th, 2008 at 8:48 am
Would love to, except Kobe can’t help himself but to try to assert his game above everything else.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:48 am
TBL, if youre a Marissa Tomei fan, watch Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. Not a great movie, but nearly every scene she is in starts with her either naked or topless, and shes amazing looking for her age.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:48 am
I’ve been telling all you clowns for months Wade was the best player in the NBA when healthy.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:49 am
@TBL- i believe it is still @ 10:15. Im just happy to be able to watch the game at home. Are you still missing it?
August 14th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Just saying, good game for Kobe or bad game for Kobe, it doesn’t matter, we get it, you don’t like Kobe. We haven’t forgotten that, don’t worry.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:50 am
btw, anyone got a link to a gamecast?

10:15? ah man, Bob the Builder is on…
August 14th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Alright, you boys have fun today… I’m off to my shitty job that has now blocked every blog on the internet.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:53 am
You da man irish.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:54 am
@coop: Thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely check that out
August 14th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Spain wrecked Germany, 72-59

SG check your gmail…
August 14th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Sorry SG…
August 14th, 2008 at 8:59 am
Just replied, sparty! Would love to be able to read the post, but since your URL contains the word “blogspot,” it’s now blocked. I’m getting a new job.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:00 am
we are working towards eradicating that issue at S$Fs…
August 14th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Did anyone hear chris Collinsworth comparing The USA Swim team to Farve because they came back on the relay. I wanted to kill him.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I am truly happy to see that MLB is fixing it’s archaic blackout rules 20 years too late. Not only does this better serve underserved markets (their word)but this well help declutter the mess in Connecticut with the Red Sox, Yankees and Mets, South Jersey with the Phillies, Mets and Yankees,and a few other markets with this same problem. It doesn’t effect the majority but I never got why more games was a detriment to any market. They were using the same argument they used to make about putting games on TV and how it would effect attendance. After they finally instituted it they learned that by being on TV it better sold the game experience to the fan. This is a good thing.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:37 am
week full of Marisa Tomei >>>>>>>> week full of Cassie
August 14th, 2008 at 9:44 am
@tampa… I regularly want to kill Collinsworth. But, I did hear that and my level of hatred spiked a bit higher than normal.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:48 am
im sorry but whatever that is in the picture, it has or had a penis at one point
August 14th, 2008 at 9:59 am
yes, moleman, it was Diddy’s penis. In her mouth. It’s why she’s famous.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:05 am
Has any word been more devalued over the past 2 decades than ‘famous’ or ‘celebrity’?
I submit that there has not.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I submit to you the word “warrior.”
Last night, while watching men’s synchronized diving, one of the announcers referred to one of the divers as a warrior for diving with bruised ribs.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:08 am
touché miz. That’s unforgivable hyperbole… he was at best a trooper.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:09 am
I would have said a soldier, but to each his own I guess.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:23 am
I was going with tough hombre instead of warrior or trooper…
